Calculations

You require 3.200 kg of chicken meat to produce a farce. A chicken size 16 has a net yield of 70 % meat.

What is the total weight of chicken you would require expressed in 0.000 Kg? (round your answer to 3 decimal places) 

16 size chicken = 1.6 kg

Thus, 70% of yield of 1.6 kg chicken = 1.12kg

Therefore, total weight of required chicken = 1.12*1.12 = 2.240 kg

How many whole chickens size 16 would you need to order from stores? 

16 size chicken = 1.6 kg

Therefore, 3.200kg will need= 3.200/1.6= 2

2 whole chickens of size 16 would be needed.
